    Default Skimmer with Fish - Head On



    A slightly different perspective. Skimmer was about 2 feet off the shoreline. Taken at distance of 10m.

    Should I go full pano on this or leave it as std. size print?


    Canon EOS 7D
    Canon 500 4.0L USM IS
    ƒ/5.6
    1/1250
    ISO 400
    Manual Metering + 1 2/3 off overcast sky

    Used viveza 2 to bring out some detail in the blacks.

    Very cool ... fish puts it over the top!
    Nicely done!

    Looks great as is with that lovely BG but would also be perfect for a pano.

    Excellent shot, love the cloudy background. Agree that a Pano would fit well.

    the cloudy background is really the surf and sand in diffused light since they fly low to the shoreline.

    Michael,

    Great perspective. I would even off the distance from wing tip to left and right sides. I say go pano crop too.

    Killer perspective and we can see the eye. Fish is a big bonus. Love the raizor looking beak. Both crops work for me, but I'd give it a bit more space on the sides. Congratulations.

    Superb job on this one Michael. I absolutelly love the simmetry of the image, only broken by the fish.
